There are different ways to type symbols and letters from multiple languages on a Dygma keyboard. Here's a video that explains them:
For written instructions, read here:
1. Use an input language that has the keys you need
For example, English US International has most of the accented letters and other symbols used in European languages.
If you want to type in English and another language, you can also use the more rich-symbol language as your input language.
Another very versatile input language is Eurkey
You can then create a layer with the symbols that you use the most and rearrange them to your liking. Something like this:
2. Use Alt codes or Unicode
On Windows, you can type accented letters and other characters by using Windows ALT codes by just using ALT and your number pad numbers.
Here are some examples:
- Alt+0233 (é)
- Alt+0224 (à)
- Alt+0232 (è)
- Alt+0249 (ù)
- Alt+0226 (â)
- Alt+0234 (ê)
- Alt+0238 (î)
- Alt+0244 (ô)
- Alt+0251 (û)
- Alt+0235 (ë)
- Alt+0239 (ï)
- Alt+0252 (ü)
- Alt+0231 (ç)
You can find all the ALT codes for other languages here: https://www.alt-codes.net/
To type these characters, hold Alt while you type all four numbers in your numpad keys (these are usually on another layer of your Dygma Keyboard).
This would require you to press five keys and change layers to access the Numpad numbers. But Bazecor has macros, so you can configure a key to type all five keys automatically: Create a macro that holds ALT, presses the four numbers on the numpad, and then releases ALT.
Here's a video on how to do that for Windows, Mac and Linux:
3. Switch the input language, type the accented layer, and then switch back
Another alternative is to have different input languages installed, for example, French and English US, and switch between them to type the symbols you want. You can add different input languages in your system preferences.
Again, you can create a macro that does this after just one keypress.
It would first press Win+Space to change the language to French, then type the accented letter with the same keystrokes that a French keyboard would require to get that accented letter, and then press Win+Space again to switch back to US English.
